Rep. Ryan is onto something here. I think there may be enough infomation in the report to create a National Financial Doomsday Clock. The clock will show that each day without taking action brings us closer to our demise (granted, we need to establish some criteria for defining doomsday). Earmarks and farm giveaways can be reflected as step changes towards doom.

A widget for adding to blogs and websites would be an obvious way to make this metric widely visible.
